Q2. Why do the authors prefer to use the term "Enrichment"?
Because their model construction process is ontology-driven, the authors prefer to use the term "enrichment" (Sumner et al., 1998), rather than "conversion" or "annotation", to refer to the process of associating a formal model to a document (or set of documents).
Q3. What is the use of the ontology in the case of electronic publishing?
For instance, in the case of electronic publishing, the ontology is used to enrich news items, which are submitted either through email or through a web-based form.
Q4. What is the purpose of the knowledge model in the scholarly discourse scenario?
In the scholarly discourse scenario the knowledge model is meant to capture the meta-knowledge required to structure academic debates (e.g., theory X contradicts theory Y), which is often expressed only implicitly in publications (i.e., acquiring it typically requires some interpretation effort) and is not modelled at all in traditional libraries.
Q5. How long did it take to develop the ontology?
The design of the ontology was based on the analysis of scholarly articles from a range of different fields, and took about two person weeks’ effort.
Q6. What technologies have been developed to support the collaborative development of knowledge models?
These technologies include a knowledge modelling language1, form-based interfaces for adding and retrieving knowledge from a model, and a webbased browser/editor, which supports the collaborative development of knowledge models over the World-Wide-Web.
Q7. What are the main issues that have been highlighted in the development of Planet?
In addition to the need for better search and retrieval facilities, the experience of a day-to-day use of Planet over more than two years has highlighted a number of other issues.
Q8. What is the key to successful knowledge management?
A key to successful knowledge management is tointegrate these different media to provide the appropriate services in the relevant scenarios.
Q9. What is the paradoxical use of ontologies?
It might appear paradoxical to propose the use of ontologies to support scholarly communities in managing their knowledge, since conflicting worldviews, evidence and frames of reference lie at the heart of research and debate.
Q10. Why do the authors usually include pointers to WebOnto in their application interfaces?
i) given that WebOnto has been designed to be as easy to use as possible and ii) in many cases end users want to inspect an ontology directly (for instance, to gain a better understanding of the underlying organization), the authors usually include pointers to WebOnto in their application interfaces.
Q11. Why is the ontology a better term for a model?
because an ontology makes explicit the conceptualization underlying a particular model, it becomes easier to maintain, reuse and interoperate the model with other components.
